A friend of mine called me yesterday. He was worried sick about Obama winning and didn't know what to do. So I talked him off the ledge he had worried himself onto, didn't make a post and find my post on the revolution starting on Nov. 4th was featured on Townhall. That would have been reassuring not only to him, but to myself. I am honored by being featured. It was unexpected, and so encouraging, like a Republican win on election day.
Worry is fine, it's part of being alive and is certainly preferable to the alternative. It also gives us an opportunity not to solve our problems, because we have crippled ourselves with doubt. So, what had so unnerved him? The news, which is not the news but propaganda from the Left.
Why should we justify the lies of the Left? We do it by accepting their premise; in this case, the inevitability of Obama winning. That will happen, if individually we do nothing and prove Burke's warning about letting evil happen.
A year ago the inevitable was a Hillary presidency, with Bill Clinton back in the White House as First Groper of the United States. It didn't happen. Four years ago it was the inevitability of John Kerry becoming the next president, as his campaign tried to intimidate Sinclair Broadcasting and the Swift Boaters for Truth over the broadcasting of a documentary. The truth won out. Eight years ago the Demagogs argued about the popular vote versus the electoral college. Now the blue and red map I sited earlier of America is emphasising the Obama's advantage in the electoral college, with 255 votes out of 270 needed "solidly" for an Obama blue states victory. If the electoral vote is so importatnt to the Left, for the moment, then the popular vote is too close and so Obama is vulnerable, not inevitable. It's another example of the Gobblist News saying to themselves "How can we fool them today?"
When we turn out in large enough numbers on election day we will win the electoral college for McCain and Palin. We can then shut up the popaganda machine for a while. Nothing from the Left is inevitable.
Worry fools us, if we let it. Propaganda does the same thing, and the news is an ongoing propaganda machine best ignored. Worry is a substitute for working on what worries us. Don't worry, vote.
